The Glucose Protein Is a Trimer of the Glyca Protein, Right?
The virus is an envelope, ir, so has a glica proteinn in the in the envelope, right? And the glyca protein, ah, it's an interesting glyca proten to have. The here a, it's a tetrimer of of four molocus. Many of the licaprotin spikes we've talked about are trimers. This one is a tetriming. Om and what this does this binds the receptor.
